what's your favourite ever drumming in a song?

[Perroquet Magique]

Well I searched for this thread and I couldn't find it. What's your favourite drumming ever, and I mean the whole song not just one groove. Partly because I'm interested and partly because listening to new things really evolves my drumming.

My favourite (at the moment) is Capillarian Crest by Mastadon. There's a youtube link, http://youtube.com/watch?v=0YrRIekrWhw

If you haven't heard it before watch out for the fills in the breakdown about a quarter of the way through.

[Mr. Grill]

Anything off of Opeth's "Deliverance" album.

[Perroquet Magique]

any particular song though...?

[Zildjian]

Eather YYZ by rush, or Home by Dream Theater

[Panopticon]

Death Whispered a Lullaby - Opeth.

[London Prophet]

I always liked

Golden Earring - Radar Love, I just love what he does with the drumming

also

The Police - Message in a Bottle, love how he messes around with the hihat accents

[goalieman92]

with your kiss- Spock's Beard.

there is outstand drumming in this song

[coffee_spiders]

I always liked

Golden Earring - Radar Love, I just love what he does with the drumming

also

The Police - Message in a Bottle, love how he messes around with the hihat accents

I really like the drumming in that Police one too. And 'Truth hits everybody'.

[the_pure_drummer]

Dream theater-Beyond this life!

[Drummer Freak 911]

Box Full of Sharp Objects-The Used

[Retarded Chipple]

I have many, there is no definite.

One pretty sick piece throughout an entire song would be the drumming on "Over the Electric Grapevine" by Primus from their album "Tales From The Punchbowl." The drummer being Tim Alexander. Tis very fun to play too...really big hard hitting groove.

[jttdrummer14]

xanadu by rush

[Stickman Sam]

Colaiuta (with Holdsworth) On "Tsunami".

Killer playing throughout.

Also, everything I've heard by The Police, and the Zappa tracks "Shut Up 'n Play Yer Guitar" and "Shut Up 'n Play Yer Guitar Some More".

~~

[Kenny_Fever]

Primus - Wounded Knee (Tim Alexander)

not necessarily my favorite ever, but I quite enjoy it.

[CasB]

Hmm, Lamb Of God - The Faded Line, I guess.

[Kenny_Fever]

Yeah I also enjoy a lot of Chris Adler's grooves, especially the intro for Now You've Got Something To Die For.

[poopoogaypoonn]

John Cage "4'33"

[thelowsoundofbass]

Rush - yyz.

lowsound

[crazyguy832]

War Inside My Head by Dream Theater... well, the chorus especially.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=FRgG_3e_L1M

Just masterful. That whole band is a collection of genius in a blender.

>_<

Easily my favourite chorus ever, just above Nothing is Everything by Death (great song, check that one out too).

[DrumIntoTheNight]

The last few minutes of 'Deliverence'.

Pure freaking genius.

[Lem0n]

White stripes- seven nation army:smash:

[We_Love_Lime]

Nas - 2nd Childhood.

[Retarded Chipple]

Primus - Wounded Knee (Tim Alexander)

not necessarily my favorite ever, but I quite enjoy it.


+rep for Primus!!!

[TTTSNB]

Individual Thought Patterns- Death
Pierced from Within- Suffocation
Laws of Tradition- Primus.

[Tim]

everything by tool

[MeaninglessPhoto]

I love playing drums to YYZ so id go with YYZ.

But the drumming in Cold Fire is phat. Its simple but its fun to listen to.

[Seafroggys]

Fire by Jimi Hendrix

[White Riot!]

"The drum thing" by john coltrane & elvin jones


YYZ is a snore fest.

[fishbulb]

I really like Chester Thompson's drumming on Zappa albums such as One size fits all.

Especially the inca roads shuffle, it rocks.

[rohbit]

Pretty Noose by Soundgarden...

Hell, anything by Soundgarden.

[Futuro]

John Cage "4'33"

lmao **** the drums

[Grumma]

Hmmmm . .. Hmmmm . .. Hmmmm

Pull Harder On The Strings Of Your Martyr by Trivium
Wolf by Iced Earth.

Dunno. I'm a sucker for the drumming in most Iced Earth songs and I'm also not a huge fan of anything over complicated so anything that lays down a beat is good for me. Although I don't really rate him that highly I quite enjoy a lot of Lars Ulrich's work

[Electric Requiem]

Death Whispered a Lullaby - Opeth.

I love the lick starting around 3:35 in Windowpane.
IMO the drumming on damnation is his most impressive.

[rohbit]

The theme of this thread seems to be "metal".

[Futuro]

Um 14:14 into the shpongle song - And the day turned to night.

Im really digging that polyrhythmic section.

Not my favorite drum part ever, but I really dont have one =/

[Grumma]

The theme of this thread seems to be "metal".

And . . .

I don't see a huge problem with that

[DrumIntoTheNight]

I adore that part towards the end of 'Eulogy' by Tool, where Carey is playing triplets on the hi-hat. That's probably my favourite, although almost anything by Lopez comes a close second.

[DxRocker]

Ow man, this is fekked up hard...

There are a LOT of songs in wich I think the drumming is extra ordinaire..
But if I have to say one...

I'll go for Billy Jean by Michael Jackson.
I love the simplicity in it and it grooves... ow man, the grooving.
From the very first beat you just can't help but move around, tap your feet or just stand up and burst into a funky dance.

Billy Jean is by FAR and beyond a doubt the single most greatest straight 8th note rockbeat I have ever heared in my entire life.

[DrummingBen]

The Killers, any song. But especially Mr Brightside and Bones

[ChubbySlim]

Say Goodbye by Dave Matthews Band Duh

Like the whole song, not just a part of it. I mean come on.:)

[chaosMK]

Richard Christy on Death - The Sound of Perseverence

The drum engineering/mix on this album isnt as cool as stuff coming out these days (his hi hats sound like **** to me) but I think his style is so awesome.

Funny thing about this guy is he went on to be a comedian on the Howard Stern show.

One of my other favorites in a different style is Dave Matthews Band - #41. I love the cymbal work he does towards the middle/bridge.

[chaosMK]

Individual Thought Patterns- Death


A lot of people love the drumming off this album. I've been listening to it. His feet are sick but I dont think it's the best Death drumming. Am I missing something?

[ringworm]

Death - The Philosopher

Slayer - War Essemble (mainly the fill about halfway into)

The Police - Walking on the Moon (and any other song as well)

Sugar Ray - RPM

Jethro Tull - Aqualung

Primus - Wounded Knee


I'd better stop before I make a post into an entire page:)

[rohbit]

And . . .

I don't see a huge problem with that

I just expected more variety on here.

[Jezen]

Drumming wise, it would have to be something from Gavin.

[UA-Jasser-UA]

Most of you probably won't have herd it, but i LOVE the drumming on John Frusciante's song - 'The Days Have Turned'.

[TTTSNB]

A lot of people love the drumming off this album. I've been listening to it. His feet are sick but I dont think it's the best Death drumming. Am I missing something?
Well the production isn't as good, so it can be hard to hear everything that's going on sometimes.

[Seafroggys]

Death - The Philosopher

Slayer - War Essemble (mainly the fill about halfway into)

The Police - Walking on the Moon (and any other song as well)

Sugar Ray - RPM

Amazing album, one of my favorites. Rep ++

Primus - Wounded Knee

nice

[Seafroggys]

The Beatles - Magical Mystery Tour - Baby, You're A Rich Man - Ringo Starr

I officially love you for life. Rep all the way (though I feel this isn't his best drumming, that'd have to go to Yer Blues or something off of Abbey Road).

[Gary Lover]

Of course Ringo has tons of great drumming tracks. This one just really grooves and bounces to me. I love so much of his playing.

Thanks!

Gary :thumb:

[xray]

Steely Dan-Aja-Steve Gadd

Message in a bottle-the police- steward copeland

and almost anything by Akira Jimbo in Casiopea

[Gary Lover]

Drumming wise, it would have to be something from Gavin.

Gavin is a great player and nice guy. I wish they would tour in the states soon!


Gary :thumb:

[NewMetman]

Steely Dan-Aja-Steve Gadd
Indeed

The Weapon-Rush, it has some cool high hat accenting in the intro.

L'Via Viaquez-The mars volta, i really like the breakdown/slow part with the latin percussion and vibe/xylophones.

not to follow the trend of slightly overrated songs, but Tom Sawyer by Rush as well

[ofDooM]

The last few minutes of 'Deliverence'.

Pure freaking genius.

I love the drums in that song.

[iamjoe2]

play that funky music-wild cherry

the cowbell in its overdubed so its cool to try to play that with one hand and the rest of the drum part with the other hand, its great try it

also ironicly when the levee breaks by led zeppelin:p

[Mirror.Circuit]

hard to pick,but I love "Eagles Become Vultures" by Converge.

[Det_Nosnip]

A lot of people love the drumming off this album. I've been listening to it. His feet are sick but I dont think it's the best Death drumming. Am I missing something?

I guess so...:confused: The playing is sick. Gene and Sean Reinert are easily the best Death drummers. To be perfectly honest, I've never been impressed with anything Christy has done. :(

[Det_Nosnip]

Why is that ironic?

[Perroquet Magique]

Why is that ironic?
Because it's one of the most famous drum beats ever I suppose.

[slim_jim147]

I love stream of consiousness of Dream Theater

[Retarded Chipple]

The Ventures - Wipe Out

:lol: Everyone loves that!

[Det_Nosnip]

Because it's one of the most famous drum beats ever I suppose.

It's famous because it's awesome...probably the greatest rock feel of all time.

[wesm9787]

i'm sure someone has said this already but i don't feel like reading through all the pages. anyway i like a lot of the stuff jon theodore did with the mars volta. i like a lot of the odd beats and things he came up with, expecially with the placement on the snare and stuff like that.

[Sharkey Boy]

Um, check any of the songs on Sleater Kinney's - The Woods album and you'll find some of my favourite drumming ever, couldnt pick one song reaaly. That band were amazing, they went from this horrible riot girl scene, to an amazing alternative outfit. Janet Wiess's drumming has so much personality and its so melodic, such a shame they are on a permenant hiatus

Sorry I just opened my heart a little bit

[Grumma]

I just expected more variety on here.

Ah k. Fair enough

Richard Christy

Pull Harder On The Strings Of Your Martyr by Trivium

awesome song, but i prefer his drumming in gunshot to the head of trepadation and entrance of the conflagration.

[Pearldrumguy]

All tower of power grooves. I really like his style and creativity.

[keaton_86]

awesome song, but i prefer his drumming in gunshot to the head of trepadation and entrance of the conflagration.

I gotta say the last song of Ascendancy has damn cool drumming in it.

But this topic is easy - Ticks and Leeches - Tool

[Det_Nosnip]

All tower of power grooves. I really like his style and creativity.

Yessir! :cool:

[Aaron]

Shed by Meshuggah, except I find it easier to play about 5 beats faster.

[the fat llama]

I gotta say the last song of Ascendancy has damn cool drumming in it.

[poopoogaypoonn]

I think you like "Dis-Recommended" them.

[Chrysostom]

nice list^

Did you get a name change? I dont remember you.

Yeah, I've had a few name changes since I signed up to the forums, plus I spend most of my time outside of D&P.

[8_4Life_8]

Sleepers - Saosin

[Grumma]

declaration? its a good song, but ive never particularily noted the drums as stand out. il give it a few more listens.

Nah Declaration is more just carrying the song rather than anything spectacular

I like Pull Harder mainly cos of the little "solo" thing Trav does at the start: simple but still sounds good and fits in with the song perfectly

[milkmit]

beastie boys - POW

the little 6-bar snare solo makes me happy. not sure if that's my absolute favorite, but it's what comes to mine now.

[wes_jett2008]

Hmmm For me its pretty much anything from Dave Grohl,I have been a fan of him for years now.

But as of right now im really digging Beast and the harlot by Avenged Sevenfold,Pretty awesome drum stuff in that song.

I cant really say I have a favorite...just whatever grabs my attention.

[raz0r]

Cynic - How Could I
Cynic - Veil of Maya
Cynic - Textures
Aghora - 1316
Aghora - Existence
Death - Flattening of Emotions

I've been listening to way too much Reinert lately...

[Bluewolf]

Pretty much any song by Army of Anyone
She's Moved On - Porcupine Tree (the one with Gavin playing on it)
Schism - Tool
Diggin' on James Brown - Tower of Power
Chasing Shadows at Midnight - Pillar

[chaosMK]

Any of the new Aghora with Giann Rubio on drums.

That kid is a monster. Every phrase he does is musically intense.

[We_Love_Lime]

DAMN.
I'm liking Amon Tobin - The Killer's Vanilla (Foley Room Album).

Some nice tasteful drumming there.

[raz0r]

Any of the new Aghora with Giann Rubio on drums.

That kid is a monster. Every phrase he does is musically intense.

Giann's good, but are you seriously saying he's better than Sean?

Sean just plain shreds on that album.

[Mikedrummer]

drumming on ...And Justice For All by Metallica kicked ***.

[The Ska Man]

My favorite is by FAR That'll Be The Day-Streetlight Manifesto

maybe We Are The Few by them, too.

[iamjoe2]

oh, I forgot

When The Levee Breaks - Led Zeppelin (John Bonham)

and

Run Like Hell - Pink Floyd (Nick Mason)

that reminds me

in the flesh? -Pink Floyd

nick mason is a great drummer hes really unappreciated

i got to get some roto-toms or somthin so i can play along to time and happyiest days of our lives

[chaosMK]

Giann's good, but are you seriously saying he's better than Sean?
Sean's stuff is great, but I like Gianns style a little more- I love the complexity he throws in on the cymbals. They both have their merrits and I am a fan of Sean anyway.

My bassist is an old friend of Giann's and played in a band with him years ago. I got to A/B the Sean/Gainn drum tracks when the album was still being produced and it seemed like Giann's stuff was a little more extreme.

[Zebba]

Dancin' Fool - Terry Bozzio (frank zappa)
Immigrant Song - Josh Freese (infectious grooves)
One Slow Dance - Mike Jimenez (rufio)
Hush - Danny Carey (tool, duh?)
Get Free - Hamish Rosser (the vines

just some one's i like listening too (the drumming)

[crazyjake19]

a couple more I forgot:

Boston - Foreplay/Long Time

Golden Earring - Radar Love

[Ethan.]

Oh I love that boston song.

I like the drumming in Breaking the Girl - RHCP.
It's simple, but it grooves and its creative.

[Inkstar]

Eather YYZ by rush, or Home by Dream Theater

Ditto.

Also add:

Tool - Aenima (current favourite)
